Eagle wildfire risk explained

Elevated
42ndpercentile nationally

USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Eagle at the 42nd national percentile for risk to structures, modestly above the national average for wildfire risk — a score built from 902 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)

USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Eagle at the 44th percentile, close to its 42nd-percentile risk score.

Where Eagle's buildings actually sit

902Total buildings
34.8%Direct exposure
65.2%Indirect exposure
0%Minimal exposure

Indirect exposure is dominant in Eagle (65.2% of 902 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 34.8% sit in the Direct zone.

Where Eagle ranks

Compare Eagle's two percentiles: 93rd within Wisconsin, only 42nd nationally — a gap of 51 points that marks it as unusually exposed for its own state. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Eagle ranks 18,454 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,714 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 59 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.

What this risk score means for insurance

Eagle's elevated rating (42nd percentile nationally) sits outside the range where wildfire risk alone reshapes an insurance market — still, a homeowner here loses nothing by comparing rates.

Hardening a home in Eagle

Because 65.2% of Eagle's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
